To complete the PhD study programme, Xian Chen presents her PhD dissertation, giving a public lecture followed by a defence on 14 January 2021 at 10:00.

The defence takes place virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Logging on is only possible from 9:45 to 10:15, and attendees are asked to mute their microphones to avoid any background noise.

We strive to make it possible for the audience to ask questions to the candidate. Questions must be sent to Jesper Rosenberg Hansen, who heads the defence, via the "conversation" box appearing in the middle of the panel while attending.

Attendees do not have access to technical support during the defence.
